Depression and Mania management with Homoeopathy

Depression is not merely feeling unhappy or sad for some time as this is felt by many people generally. Depression is feeling low or sad persistently for more than weeks or months. People with depression experience a lack of interest and pleasure in daily activities, significant weight loss or gain, insomnia or excessive sleeping, lack of energy, inability to concentrate, feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt and recurrent thoughts of death or suicide. Just like diabetes, arthritis, depression is also a disease condition and needs medical care. Depression is the most common mental disorder. Fortunately, depression is treatable.

In homoeopathy, there are remedies to cope up with almost every kind of situation mentally.

Not only depression, but other mental instabilities like mania, OCD, psycotic disorders, post-traumatic stress disorders, and phobias. Stress is found to be the main cause behind almost all diseases. But no treatment addresses the stress. In homoeopathy, medicine is prescribed considering the mental state of the patient during the phase of stress. For example, depression after death of a loved one, mania after financial loss, phobias, ritualistic behaviour, all are dealt with homoeopathic medicines. In homoeopathy, the role of emotions is obvious. It has been established that emotions have a great impact on the physical health. Emotions can initiate, precipitate or aggravate an illness.
Homoeopathic remedies can assist people who willingly want to work on their emotional, mental and spiritual growth and development; to strive to achieve a more positive mindset and a feeling of well being. Negative moods thoughts and actions can bring about imbalance. Personality traits, such as impatience, fear, depression, bitterness, lack of self-confidence or motivation affect a person‘s vitality and can adversely affect health. Homoeopathic remedies do not profoundly change the personality; it cannot and should not because it is these individual differences which make life so rich. Homoeopathic remedies help to restore balance within the personality. For example, a chronic worrier can become an occasional worrier, a highly critical and judgmental person can become more tolerant, and a person with a poor self-image can gain more self-confidence
